Title

PREVALENCE OF CHRONIC HEPATITIS B AND HEPATITIS C AMONG FIRST TIME BLOOD DONORS IN NORTHEAST BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: AN ESTIMATE OF PREVALENCE IN GENERAL POPULATION

Pages

  629-633

Abstract

 Background: Data on the EPIDEMIOLOGY of HEPATITIS B and C in BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA (B& H) are lacking.Objectives: To assess the prevalence of HEPATITIS B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) in blood samples of first time BLOOD DONORS in a well-defined region of B& H. Our secondary goal was to estimate the prevalence of HBsAg and anti- HCV in the general POPULATION of the same region.Patients and Methods: We evaluated 8196 blood samples for the presence of HBsAg and/ or anti-HCV, adjusted for differences in gender, and used the ratio estimation method to determine the prevalence in the general POPULATION.Results: We analyzed 1263 (15.4%) female and 6933 (84.6%) male BLOOD DONORS (male-tofemale ratio: 5.49 to 1). The adjusted prevalence of HBsAg among BLOOD DONORS was 0.787% (95% CI=0.535-1.038), while the prevalence of anti-HCV was 0.267% (95% CI= 0.016-0.519). There was no difference in the prevalence of HBsAg or anti-HCV between men and women. We estimate that the prevalence of HBsAg and anti-HCV in the general POPULATION is 1.057% to 1.535% and 0.29% to 0.89%, respectively.Conclusions: The prevalence of HBsAg and anti-HCV among BLOOD DONORS suggests that our region has low endemicity for both HEPATITIS B and hepatitis C.
